要旨: The importance of Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking (SSB) and the associated
Nambu-Goldstone (NG) bosons is widely understood not only in particle physics but also in other fields, including condensed matter physics. Although the physics of NG bosons is well-understood in relativistic systems, once we discard the Lorentz symmetry the precise characterization of the number and dispersion relations is still an open problem.
I will give an overview of our recently proposed conjecture which relates the number of NG bosons with the generalized charge density of the ground state [1]. In addition, I will briefly explain a framework to handle SSB of transnational invariance itself. As an example, (ferromagnetic) supersolid will be discussed [2].
